Podcasts about australia's great barrier reef

Involvement with a webinar about saving and protecting Australia's Great Barrier Reef raised many issues, among them a call for action that resulted in a note to the federal Member for Nicholls, Damian Drum.My request to Mr Drum was for him to put pressure on his coalition cohort, he is a National Party member, to ditch the dirty, polluting and expensive fossil fuels preferred by the Liberal National Party (LNP) and opt for the cleaner, greener and cheaper renewable energy and, at the same time, make Australia a renewable energy super-power.The latter would be inevitable if the concept was embraced by the LNP as Australia is richly endowed with that basics of renewable energy - wind and solar.

In the 1960s conservationists began a campaign to prevent the Queensland government from allowing mining and oil drilling on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Eddie Hegerl told Claire Bowes that he and his wife were prepared to sacrifice everything to protect the world's biggest coral reef from destruction. Photo: Science Photo Library

It's 20 years since our first modern Global Coral Bleaching event. Now they are regular, harder and faster. A deadly trio of climate change conditions are killing corals. Dr Emma Camp, a Marine Bio-geochemist, is at Ground Zero on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. She might have discovered some micro-biological interactions that could throw corals a lifeline.  @emmafcamp https://emmafcamp.com/

Listen to the audio above as Jack Tame shares his thoughts on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is huge and public and yet our market-driven coalition government led by Scott Morrison has handed over nearly $500 000 000 to a tiny private company and while doing that has claimed it has made a significant investment in protecting what is Earth's largest living organism.Acting Environment Minister, Senator Simon Birmingham, argued that way during and interview with Radio National's Breakfast host, Cathy Van Extel. Shadow Environment Minister Tony Burke rejected the claims of Senator Birmingham arguing the government's first stop and expense should be in containing, as best it can, climate change.

The wildfires on Saddleworth Moor may well be the most widespread in modern British history. Thanks to herculean efforts by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and the military, they are now extinguished, though the peat continues to smoulder. Now the longer term ecological impact is being assessed. Adam Rutherford talks to geochemist Chris Evans from the Centre for Hydrology and Ecology about what's been unleashed into the environment from the burning of the peat and lessons we've learnt in maintaining peatlands. Coral reefs are noisy places filled with the clicks, pops, chirps and chattering of numerous fish and crustaceans. But a new study conducted on Australia's Great Barrier Reef shows that this noise has been quietened in areas damaged by bleaching and cyclones. Marine biologist Tim Gordon of Exeter University has examined how the changing coral acoustics are impacting on fish communities and whether a "choral orchestra" could help reduce the decline in local reef systems. Adam Rutherford meets Magdalena Skipper, the new Editor-in-Chief of the journal Nature. It's a longstanding publication, founded in 1869 and is the cornerstone of scientific endeavour. But how will Nature evolve as the demands on research change and scientific publishing continues to undergo a revolution in the digital age? In order to go very far in space, future astronauts will need some means of creating their own air and fuel. Katharina Brinkert at California Institute of Technology has succeeded in harvesting hydrogen from water in microgravity - overcoming a huge hurdle in the weightlessness of space, that may one day lead to a way to acquire fuel during a long-distance, crewed space mission.

What in the world is coral bleaching? Where in the world is it happening? And how the world are starfish involved? Join Guy Raz and Mindy Thomas on an underwater adventure to Australia's Great Barrier Reef as they set out to explore the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How and Wow in the World of coral bleaching!

One love rising hosts the most beautiful transformational, healing, concious teachers, mentors, and members of and for our one family. Hosted by Heidi Little and Bob Challenger. This week Heidi is traveling and Bob is fully hosted.   The Great Barrier Reef is perhaps on its final deathbed as it suffers from back to back massive dying events in the past two years. Australia's Great Barrier Reef is one of the great natural wonders of the world, a tremendous display of beauty, biodiversity, and a fragile ecosystem.
